Cloud Nothings — TBA (TBA)

Cloud Nothings are certainly a young band, and can — at times — show its age. But older influences , such as the pretty ugliness of Pavement and angst of Nirvana, naturally bleed through frontman Dylan Baldi’s songwriting. The group’s 2012 album “Attack On Memory” may have the most true-to-the-music title of any record in 2012, and while there’s little info on the new record (apart from Baldi claiming it to be noisier and less straightforward), it will no doubt be a reprieve from the current musical landscape of subtlety and reverb.
